Minister for Municipal Administration Botcha Satyanarayana on Saturday hoped that Vizianagaram district and other parts of the State would be on the path of development and economic progress in the Telugu New Year Subhakruth.

The Ministry of Railways has announced a rationalisation of passenger fares, effective from December 26, aiming to balance rising operational costs while keeping passenger impact minimal. Suburban services and Monthly Season Ticket holders remain unaffected, while ordinary and AC classes see small increases. The move is expected to generate ₹600 crore in revenue and strengthen safety and efficiency across the railway network.
